Robert JULIAT, the man, founds a company designing and manufacturing
lighting and projection equipment for cinemas.
1920 – 1960 Cinema Lighting
Robert Juliat produces carbon arc projectors for cinema, manufacturing every
component involved. A tradition of live entertainment in front of the cinema
screen before each film highlights a need for a different style of lighting.
Robert JULIAT responds by creating and supplying purpose-built lighting
fixtures and has been the forerunner of single lens lanterns design since
1923, when its first plano-convex lantern was released.
1960’s Theatrical Lighting
Robert Juliat carbon arc projectors continue to be supplied to cinemas
throughout the ‘60s. Jean-Charles JULIAT, who joined the team, broadens the
company horizons, working on 'son et lumiere' productions and steers the
company towards the development of stage lighting.
1972 Robert Juliat SA
Jean-Charles JULIAT becomes company manager and the status of the firm
are changed to “Robert Juliat SA”.
1976 First HMI Followspot
Robert Juliat introduces the first HMI followspot with integrated PSU, the 575 W
Pixie, and thereby introduces a concept adopted since by other manufacturers.
1990 First DMX-Controlled Profiles and Followspots
In an industry first, DMX dimmer control is introduced across Robert Juliat’s
range of HMI profiles and followspots.
1999 First Followspot Award: Cyrano
Robert Juliat is the first manufacturer to receive an LDI award for followspot
design when the newly released Cyrano 2500 W HMI followspot is named
LDI Lighting Product of the Year. The award is bestowed for its outstanding
quality and features which include the ergonomics of the large heat resistant,
wrap-around handle and the rotating fingertip dimmer control.
2002 Extension of the Plant
Increasing popularity and market demand leads to an extension of the premises
at Fresnoy-en-Thelle. The current factory occupies over 7,000 m² (75,000 sq ft).

VII WHY ROBERT JULIAT ? SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT THROUGH INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE R&D – Our R&D department works very closely with our sales department to design products perfectly suited to customers needs. We are very concerned about the environment, so we take into account the requirements of recycling processes from the start of the product design. Production – All components in every Robert Juliat product are of a high standard. If a standard component does not meet our quality requirements, we have it custom-made to match our specific criteria. Every Robert Juliat product is fully manufactured on the premises so we retain complete control over all aspects of quality. Assembly – For motivation and efficiency everyone on our staff is cross-trained to build our full range of products. We are an environmentally conscious company and our policies on waste management and use of materials exceed all regulations. Quality control – As random testing is insufficient for Robert Juliat, we test each product individually for optical, mechanical, electronic and grounding accuracy before it leaves the factory. After sales & spares – By keeping our production in-house, and with 22,000+ descrete components permanently in stock, we ensure all parts are readily available, both for our own production and as spares for our customers. All Robert Juliat products, including architectural products, come with 2-year warranty. Logistics – We know how important deadlines are in our industry. Robert Juliat customers can testify that our efficient production management system enables us to give accurate delivery dates. Heavy-duty packaging ensures that all products will arrive in perfect condition. Sales department – Our main priority is to provide each customer with solutions, supplying products which meet his or her requirements. We draw on our experience and specific case studies to achieve this goal. We provide our distributors and customers with in-depth training on our products.

1 ROBERT JULIAT LEADING THE MARKET IN QUALITY SINCE 1919 Quality construction – All fixtures are manufactured to be durable enough to withstand even the toughest of touring conditions while each high quality component ensures complete reliability under show conditions. Ergonomic perfection – From the large wrap-around, heat-resistant followspot handle, to the thumb-rests on the profile shutter lock, each fixture offers exclusive features to make operation a pleasure. Optical excellence – The Robert Juliat optical system is based upon condenser optics which collects the maximum amount of light and produces a flat, even beam with no hotspot and little drop off at the edge of the beam. The result is a crisp, consistent spread of light, guaranteeing a smooth general coverage and unsurpassed image projection. Ease of maintenance – With the technician in mind, Robert Juliat designs fixtures with easily removable components to make RJ fixtures the quickest to set up and the easiest to maintain. Value for money – Robert Juliat luminaires provide excellent return on investment due to quality construction guaranteeing long life, modular construction and zoom optic versatility. Man-hours and maintenance time are reduced, spares stock levels are kept to a minimum and the quality of build guarantees a durable product with a long working life and an optimum return on investment. Customer care – Consultation and consideration are company watchwords. The sales team works together with R&D and after sales team departments to determine customers needs, and consults focus groups of end-users to formulate designs for the ideal product. In this way we provide answers for present needs and keep Robert Juliat at the front of future developments. Environmental consciousness – We make every effort to produce all products with a respect for the environment. All our manufacturing is concentrated in one plant, at our headquarters, thereby avoiding any fuel waste caused by freighting part-assemblies between factories. Our policies on waste management and use of materials exceed the requirements of EU directives and we apply regulations in accordance with WEEE and RoHS standards. Our best example is the introduction of our new LED ranges that put RJ ahead of the field in combining power and quality with economy and environmental sensitivity.

” We have had the Robert Juliat 310 Fresnels for
two seasons now and expect them to last for at least
another season! Three seasons is all we normally expect
from a fixture in these conditions – they spend 4 months
of every year outdoors on a cliff side with all the weather
the elements can throw at them – and the Robert Juliats
still keep coming back for more! They are exactly what we
wanted in a fixture and we are very happy with them.

SINGLE LENS LUMINAIRES
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE MARKET
Robert Juliat, the founder of the current company, designed the first Robert Juliat PC
fixture in 1923 for the fledgling moving picture industry.
With the ability to think beyond conventional technology, the company has been a
forerunner of lighting product design since those early days, constantly finding innovative
solutions to improve upon the quality of its products – both in terms of beam and
build – until it has reached the high and constant standards for which it is renowned
throughout the world today.
This fresh approach continues into the current generation. The modular design of
the Lutin and Cin’k Fresnels set new standards in single lens luminaire design by
providing a multi-faceted solution in a brilliantly simple package. Boundaries continued
to be stretched with the arrival of Aledin 330, a new LED washlight, in 2011, which
subsequently developed into the Zep 340LF LED Fresnel.
The latest example of Robert Juliat innovation is the award-winning Tibo range which
incorporates the Tibo Fresnel, a brand new tool in the Robert Juliat portfolio. Now
designers can choose from a selection of compact, efficient Fresnel fixtures offering a
choice of different light sources: LED, tungsten and discharge.
Whatever the size or type of venue, Robert Juliat’s single lens luminaires provide the
optimum solution.4
3 types of lenses, 3 types of beams
1 - Plano-Convex (PC): Clear lens giving a hard-edge beam with no 'spill'. Variable zoom gives
more coverage than a profile, and a more flexible alternative than fixed-beam units. Ideal for front
light, backlight and for dramatic highlights.
2 - Pebble-Convex (PB): Stippled lens gives less light diffusion than a Fresnel, yet without the hard
edge of a PC. Use where soft edges and smooth blending are required but with more control.
3 – Fresnel: Fresnel lens gives soft shadows for smooth blending between fixtures giving an even
general coverage. Ideal for wash light, back and side lighting.

” When refurbishing the Lighting Department at the Old Vic, we invested in
a large number of Robert Juliat Fresnels which we chose because of their robust
construction and versatile features. The lamps are very easy to change and the
1K 'Lutin' is transformed quickly from Fresnel to PC with the interchangeable
lenses, making them a very useful and time saving fixture. The barn doors with
one point rotation on each leaf are great at getting into all those difficult to reach
places without spilling light over set and proscenium.

CREATIVE CONCEPT LIGHT
Creative Concept Light is about choosing unique and creative ways to design
lighting solutions that are both original and worthwhile.
The Creative Concept Light by Robert Juliat is a philosophy focused on providing a
comprehensive platform of lighting possibilities, embodied in one innovative range
named Tibo.
Like the notes in a symphony, Tibo offers a ‘mix and match’ choice of lightsource (LED,
tungsten halogen and discharge), lens type (Fresnel and profile) and body colour. From
this wide selection of components, designers and technicians can compose endless
lighting solutions to suit any application, whether it is for theatre, architecture, TV studio,
event, display or retail purposes.
All Tibo profiles have a 360° rotating body and a unique optical system which offers the
choice of two zoom ranges (30/45° and 15/35°) in one single unit.
Tibo’s LED light sources offer theatre lighting designers a choice of colour temperature
which remain constant when dimming. Cool or warm white atmospheres can be
achieved without the need for colour correction filters and the reduction in light output
these cause. Variable LED light sources can be matched with traditional tungsten units
as required.
Both LED and discharge Tibo fixtures are valuable for event lighting since they provide
easy, cost-effective solutions in terms of reduced installation and maintenance costs,
less cabling and lower power consumption. Up to 35 Tibo LED fixtures can be daisy-
chained from a single domestic power outlet (230V 16A).
Architectural lighting requires compact, long-life fixtures with low heat-emission. Tibo’s
compact form and cool running LEDs make them ideal for discreet use in listed venues,
exhibitions, museums or when lighting valuable or light-sensitive objects.
Retail or display installations by contrast often want to be noticed. Tibo’s selection of
dramatic or conventional body colours ensure Tibo can stand out from the crowd or
blend into its environment.
The Tibo profiles and fresnels are perfect key lights for TV studios. Both fixtures offer a
flat, even beam with no hot spot with soft or sharp beam shaping. All Tibo LED units
have a flicker-free ballast which makes them suitable for film, television and studio
environments as well as in conventional theatre.

LED FIXTURES
LEDs are providing new solutions in lighting across several market sectors and Robert
Juliat has responded by creating new ranges that combine high output LED light sources
with superb Robert Juliat engineering. These incorporate both Fresnel and profile
fixtures, Zep and Tibo ranges.
Theatre
Zep fixtures offer theatres a choice of different colour temperatures which remain
constant when dimming. The Zep 340LF Fresnel offers a very wide and even beam
whilst the Zep profile (640SX) gives superb gobo projection and uses less gel. This is
due to the coolness of the LED source which allows smaller pieces of colour filter to be
placed in the lantern’s internal holder.
The Tibo range presents a compact and bright lighting solution featuring an outstanding
optical design that allows two different zoom ranges within one single unit.
Further cost savings are made because LEDs require no dimmers and emit far less
damaging heat, which in turn means less maintenance, less air-conditioning and easier
handling for the technician.
Architectural
The long LED life (up to 50,000 hrs according to manufacturers guidelines) ensures LED
light sources are a great solution for hard to reach areas and perfect for long term projections.
LEDs’ low heat emission means less wear and tear on the fixture and therefore less
maintenance. The absence of UV / IR emissions ensures protection for sensitive objects
such as works of art, museum exhibits and theatres’ historic décor. Easy to install and lower
in energy consumption, the Robert Juliat LED ranges offer cost savings in more ways than
one!
TV Studio
Crucial to television studios is a lantern’s quality of light, constant colour temperature
when dimming and flicker-free power supply, all of which are offered by the RJ LED
profiles and Fresnels. Both types of fixture offer a flat, even beam with no hot spot, with
soft and sharp beam shaping. Running costs are slashed while less heat means less
maintenance and less air-conditioning.
Event
Zep and Tibo LED profiles are invaluable for easy, cost effective event lighting. There is
no need for costly installation and cabling and less time is spent setting them up.
The LED light source is so cool that even plastic gobos can be placed in the gate, cutting
gobo costs since these can be printed on standard desktop printers.24 Photo: Operaen, Copenhagen Opera House (Denmark)

EXCLUSIVE DESIGNS,
OUTSTANDING OPTICS
Robert Juliat wanted to design an optically superior fixture which would provide the
solution to the many different needs of its customers more comprehensively than any
other fixture.
The current range of Robert Juliat zoom profiles is the result of consultation with end-
users, from across a wide range of disciplines, on what would make the ideal profile
fixture. The result is an unparalleled combination of exclusive operational features,
mechanical and optical quality, modularity, versatility and ease of maintenance.
We offer a comprehensive zoom range covering all angles, from the very wide needed
for smaller venues and short throw applications to the very narrow for the long throw
of large scale venues. The zoom lenses give flexibility to each unit and, combined with
the quality of light offered, provide a product to fit all sizes of budget, big and small.
In 2010 we launched Aledin 630, the first LED profile to combine power with superb
optical qualities. Aledin was the first to provide a truly useable, economical and
ecological solution for TV studios, theatres, museums and production companies - a
fact recognised by the 2010 Award for Innovation at PLASA.
The range of Robert Juliat zoom profiles are now enhanced with two innovative ranges :
Zep and Tibo.
Lighting designers, technicians and business owners alike value Robert Juliat profiles for
their exclusive operational features, reliability, fast maintenance and availability of spare
parts, and the cost savings all these afford.26

Focus
FOCUS ON
TV STUDIO APPLICATIONS
Everyday, thousands of Robert Juliat profile spots, tungsten, discharge and LED, are
2006
used in many TV studios throughout the world. The arrival of the Robert Juliat LED STLD Award
Aledin profiles from 2010 was an immediate success with the trend continuing to
accelerate rapidly (see page 23).
TV Lighting Designers use our profiles as key lights for several important reasons:
Controllability
Close-up shots require maximum light output, positioned to allow for camera angles and
scenery placement, and at a low angle to avoid creating shadows on the facial features.
Such limitations mean Fresnels are difficult to use: barn doors give poor control over
beam size and shape and the spread of light differs with the zoom setting. Robert
Juliat profiles, however, offer great light output together with precise control of beam
dimensions and shape, making it easy to “isolate” the speaker with light, highlight his
face from his surroundings and compensate for different skin tones.
Quality of beam
Robert Juliat profiles generate a flat, even beam with no hot spot or chromatic diffraction
which is vital under the close scrutiny of cameras. Perfect control of light intensity can
be achieved with a tungsten fixture by broadening or narrowing the beam size using
the zoom optics without affecting colour temperature. With LED light sources, colour
temperature remains constant when dimming.
Painting a picture
Hard edges, harsh shadows and light intensity can be reduced, using frosted glass
placed in the internal glass holder located within an RJ profile. This allows important
smoothing of the light while the shape of face can be enhanced with the addition of a
well-positioned fill light. Such control not only gives interesting contrast but also enables
subtle, precise variations.
Information given by Jean HENNEQUIN, Head TV Lighting Designer at RTL Group, Belgium.42
” The brightness of the Lancelot was a deciding factor:
as more than 2,700 units of 1200 W moving lights were used,
it needed to cut through all this amount of light. The Lancelot
is a well designed followspot with an excellent optical system
– a high quality product giving excellent performance.
Robert Juliat products are excellent!

FOLLOWSPOTS
INNOVATION WITH EXCELLENCE
Since designing the first HMI followspot, Pixie, in 1975, Robert Juliat has become the
preferred manufacturer for lighting designers and operators alike. To produce a powerful
followspot is not a difficult task. To make a followspot with exceptional quality of beam,
dimming ability, gobo projection, and an outstanding light output, all wrapped in an
ergonomically pleasing package, is the real challenge and one in which only Robert
Juliat has emerged as market leader.
Long considered the best followspots on the market, Robert Juliat followspots are
used in every type of venues from the smallest cabaret to the largest stadium, for both
touring and fixed shows throughout the world.
Opera houses love them for their superb dimming capabilities while rental houses
benefit from a fast return on their investment. Equipment-sensitive studio environments
appreciate the beam’s flat-field with no hotspot.
Robert Juliat followspots are available in short or long throw versions and with different
wattages and lamp types to suit every application. Condenser optics give a flat, even
beam with optimum light output, and variable zoom optics maintain sharp focus at
every beam angle.
Each Robert Juliat followspot comes with a full range of accessories and a wealth of
ergonomic features for comfortable and efficient operation.You can also read
